The Bush administration has repeatedly lied about Iraq's nuclear, chemical and biological weapons capabilities, as well as lying about Iraq's links with al-Qaeda. The administration has pressured its own analysts to bias evidence toward its war plans, and has not co-operated with UN inspectors.

Oil companies have worked with Saddam and worked on regime change. The Bush administration has lied about brokering the future of Iraqi oil, and Cheney has lied about Halliburton's deals in Saddam's Iraq.
